I also want a healthy Lloyd!
Healthy Spikes would be good too. Bedard mentioned earlier he went to the locker room. Then:
"Spikes is back on the field. Appears to have a little limp with his left knee, which has a brace on it."

* I hope the Hernandez experiment returning punts is short-lived.
* This team still needs a legit threat at kick returner. Woodhead and Edelman back there are underwhelming.
A few additional observations from tonight's practice:
* Brady got really pissed off a couple times, once tossing his helmet. Hard to tell if he was mad at himself or at what looked like poor pass protection.
* Hightower is going to be a great run stuffer.

* It's funny to see guys being ordered to run laps for jumping offsides, etc.
* The "fight" between Spikes and Solder was goofy. All the blue-shirt defensive guys and all the white-shirt offensive guys rushed in and you had to wonder what they all were thinking. I'll bet the defense gets frustrated not being able to hit and tackle 100-percent during 11-on-11 drills.
Regarding the first bolded, I do not like this idea at all.
Regarding the second bolded, I agree... who are legitimate options right now?
It seems to Bedard that Gronk isn't quite himself yet since the pads went on. With Lloyd and Branch both sitting out Brady and the first team seemed to struggle. Arrington seemed to finally get the better of Welker albeit while possibly committing PI. Hoyer had a good night, Mallett not so much. Prettiest pass play of the evening but then otherwise ragged. The UDFA RB continues to out rep Vereen. Koppen is now centering the second team and with Connolly dinged it's time for Bill to get on the Batphone to Waters. Brady will need his reps with Lloyd and it's hard to send him out there in these pre season tilts without a first team OL.

Bolder is weird to me as I have heard other reports that Vereen looked solid and received tonnes of first team reps during the practice and especially the 2 min offense
